Jeff,
you are a troll. If you can't make your point with logic and a well thought out, well constructed argument, you change the subject, start talking about emotions or changing someones mind or just make flip comments about having all the facts.

Let me put this too you bluntly Jeff, where whatever you want. I was trying to have a good discussion, but it is obvious you can't. Your lame argument/logic (if there really was one) and obvious zig zag, shuck and jive two step act isn't fooling anyone.

The two things about this that make me sad are that I actually believed you could have an honest open discussion about this and that WWTB has been right all along... too bad really, cause I didn't want to believe it.

(slowly closes eyes and shakes head)

What does this have to do with baseball and the likelihood of concussions?



Wait a minute; you had all the facts right?



You obviously do not know much about studies. Usually you need more that two studies and the studies have to use the correct methodology.



You are? Wow, considering I saw a guy get hit on the top of the head with a pitched baseball, he continued the game and had no affects from the baseball.



You are right you have all the answers in front of you.



Once again, you know.



I did not say we could not quantify data. This shows that this is a very emotional thing for you. You sound like you are going to get on a tower and start shooting people because they do not believe in your way of thinking. Relax man, it will be OK.

Peace

What was the reason you posted this again?

This is how it works. When you create a thread no matter what the topic, it opens the possibility that people will comment on them. You might read posts you like. You might read posts you do not like. Then it is up to you respond or keep the thread.

This is how it has worked from the beginning of this board and long before you got here. It is not going to change overnight. So when you do not read something you like, you have some choices to make.

This ends the lesson for today.

Peace

I would like to hear more of the study about catchers who keep injuring their throwing hands catching foul tips with the bare hand.

I would like to know how many players look in the sun and get hit on the head with the ball, and then get concussions as a result.
